Finally, you will need to remove the kernel as an option to your bootloader.
This will change from architecture to architecture. For x86, (as root), edit
`/boot/grub2/grub.cfg` or `/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg` if you have EFI enabled
and delete the four lines relating to your kernel (They should be easy to spot,
they'll be the ones with your tag). They'll look something like:
Finally, you will need to remove the kernel as an option in your bootloader.
Assuming your system is running grub2, this can be done by removing the
